Thank you for the article on body donation (My mother donated her body to science. I really wasn’t prepared for what came next, 24 October). How about adding a link online to how people can donate their own or a connected person’s body in the UK, together with giving blood or plasma in life? When our brother died in the 1960s, our parents agreed that any useful bits could be recycled. I came late to regular blood-giving; even so, with the retirement age abolished, my number is over 100. Join us?

• The Word wheel puzzle in your print edition states “there is at least one nine-letter word to be found”. The nine-letter solution given for the puzzle of 20 October was “intricate”. There is a second nine-letter word: “triactine”, a zoological term for “three-rayed”. What do I win?
